I actually have some friends from home that are on it. I don't know how I feel about it being so exclusive, though. I know that some cultures are super traditional and want to keep their religion alive by marrying those of the same religion. It almost feels like they are closing themselves off, though. Someone Jewish could very well meet the love of their life that is not Jewish, but I guess people that join the site are not interested in people not of their religion. As someone who isn't super religious and doesn't really care about the religion/race/ethnicity of my significant other, I kind of take offense to the website only because I am dating a Jewish person. I guess, though, that for people who religion is very important to this site is a great idea. It allows people to join a community with other people that they have something in common with. While I wish that other people could get a chance to use the site, I do know that it wouldn't be JDate and the reason for the website would be obsolete if it wasn't restricted to Jewish singles.Randi Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255627033171648717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967956682206634944.post-55091682642928680972011-03-09T15:48:15.796-08:002011-03-09T15:48:15.796-08:00Hey Kristin, sorry I missed your presentation in c...Hey Kristin, sorry I missed your presentation in class yesterday .... it seems like it was really interesting. It would have been interesting to see what everyone had to say in response to your question about how people who are not Jewish feel about JDate. I think the fact that there is such a site such as JDate, geared towards a specific group of people is interesting. If you were jewish, I think it would be a great resource to go online if you were looking to date. Therefore, I think, due to its name, most people would believe that all users on JDate, were in fact Jewish. <br /><br />I also think there are many specialty dating sites geared toward specific groups of people. For instance, I know there are a couple sites for christians looking to meet other christians, and there is also a site called blacksingles.com. I believe the purpose of these sites is to make finding a specific type of person to date easier. I imagine that when users go to these types of sites, they already have an image of the type of person they would like to meet. Therefore, if people are using that site and are not Jewish or christian or black, they may be defeating the purpose of the site.jaenglerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309191502932847352noreply@blogger.com
